Do you have or want to gain experience in fundraising, marketing or event planning? Tails is recruiting Volunteers interested in assisting with the planning of our annual Gala. This gala helps raise critical funding for dogs and cats in our care.
Volunteers will be responsible for event planning and management from inception to completion while sitting on a group event committee with Tails Marketing and Events Manager, other Tails staff and event volunteers. Volunteers will meet once a month beginning in October 2017 for planning meetings and more often as the event approaches in March 2018.
Planning responsibilities will include event logistics, contacting companies and organizations to lock-in auction items that match our event audience, marketing the gala to potential donors and supporters and you'll even have the opportunity to volunteer at the gala.

Mission Statement
Saving the lives of companion animals through rescue, adoption and spay/neuter; advocating for pets in our region.
Description
Tails cares for 2,500 pets each year. At any given time, approximately 300 pets reside at the shelter and in volunteer foster homes throughout our community. Adoptions occur daily at the shelter and at offsite adoption locations each weekend.
In addition to our adoption program, Tails also provides low-cost spay/neuter and dog training classes to the public and offers a variety of human service programs aimed at nurturing the human-animal bond:
- Our Safe Pets program provides free boarding for the pets of domestic violence victims so they can leave their abuser without fearing for the safety of their pet.
- In partnership with our local Meals on Wheels program, we provide free food and veterinary care to Meals on Wheels clients who own pets through our HomeBuddies program.
- Through our Humane Education program, we provide educational opportunities for school and community groups, focusing on a variety of animal welfare topics.
- Pawsitive TAILS, our animal assisted activities program, facilitates interactions between certified pets and clients of human service organizations throughout our community.
